Generally, the nine counties that have contact with San Francisco Bay. Clockwise they are: Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties.

The Bay Area is very distinct and unmistakable to those who are familiar with it's culture and lifestyle. Outsiders often don't get it. You can't fake being from the bay. When you say "frisco", you give yourself away. Bay Area people don't say that.

The term Bay Area as mentioned, almost invariably refers to the San Francisco Bay Area. Other regions that carry this name only do so within their local areas. Some other terms heard in the bay area such as "the south bay" are used in a few other places, most notably in San Diego where there is also a south bay.

First off, I'd like to thank all the platinum grill wearing, more expensive wheels than the car's actually worth driving, horrible casio-tone music bumping, pants so low that it looks like you took a dump having, uneducated f-tards that make the Bay Area sound like it's full of a bunch of imbeciles for posting so many weak posts here. (And yes, I'm being sarcastic if you even know what that means).

If you look up Bay Area (disambiguation), this is what you'll see:

Bay Area is a common term to refer to a metropolitan area situated around a bay. Three places in the United States that are referred to simply as "the Bay Area" by their residents are:

Notice, no mention of Chesapeake, Hudson, or Memphis. Sorry, but when you say Bay Area ANYWHERE around the world, they think SF Bay Area, not Chesapeake or Hudson so don't try to make it sound like we are creating the definition. Words and phrases, much like some in this dictionary, are created based on an agreement in terms of the usage of the lexicon. The term Bay Area has long been associated with the S.F. Bay Area which is why it has stuck.

The area surrounding the San Francisco Bay. The epitome of Nor-Cal. From SF down to Burlingame, Belmont, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View,San Jose (West Bay) plus the East Bay (sort of) Most well known for SF, being liberal, and hella.
